Movement Therapy and Self Healing

Betty's mission is to educate clients in Self Healing strategies that extend beyond the table. She is an advocate and teacher of Movement Therapies for ongoing wellness. She integrates and advocates the concepts of Mindful Movement, Breathwork, Stretching, Pilates, Yoga, Myofascial Unwinding and the Feldenkrais Method.

Betty has 10 years of teaching experience, including Mindful Movement class for the special needs of students at Turning Point, the Center for Hope for people in treatment for serious illness and their caregivers.

The Experience

This is not your everyday Swedish Massage at the Spa. Betty listens to your body, elicits deep relaxation and nurtures the musculo-skeletal system with comfort massage and joint mobilization. She creates the conditions to release deeply held tensions and energetic blocks for healing and mind/body/spirit/ emotional transformation.

The Body Therapy By Betty space is a very special spacious studio that features an antique slate floor, a natural skylight, beautiful serene paintings, a dedicated Movement Therapy area with mirrors and a cozy treatment room, featuring an extra comfy table layered with healing magnetics and layers of Temperpedic padding and the softest cotton linens. This is a table to which you can surrender all your cares and let go of your every care and tension.
